This Satin Checkerboard Lamé Fabric is a valuable tool for photographers and filmmakers, helping them achieve precise lighting and colour accuracy. It is used for colour calibration by capturing images of the checkerboard under specific lighting conditions, which serves as a reference for correcting colours in post-production. Its neutral silver finish reflects light in a way that enhances the subject's natural colours without adding unwanted hues.

The satin texture also softens shadows, creating a more diffused light that reduces harsh contrasts, while aiding in balancing exposure by reflecting light into darker areas for a more evenly lit scene. This checkerboard highlights fine details and textures, making it especially useful for close-up shots. Additionally, by adjusting its position and angle, you can create various creative lighting effects, enhancing the overall visual appeal and mood of their projects.
